Music for Behavior Management

Interrupting can be a problem in many primary classrooms, so some simple management techniques can help. The "No Interrupting!" song is just the ticket to easily learn this rule, as demonstrated in this great video. Enjoying some music and movement while learning this lesson, these kids will surely remember how disrupting it is to interrupt. Tha...

When someone is doing something they shouldn't be, instead of calling them out, ring the bell and draw attention to someone who WAS on task. (She gives a tally.) Makes everyone aware they are being watched without hurting feelings. littlestlearners....

Clutter-Free Classroom: DING: You are now free to start focusing in the classroom - good classroom management idea

Draw your attention to POSITIVE behavior! When you find one of your children doing right and good, ring the bell and give them an immediate reward. Watch the magic of positive reinforcement.

I personally like, "Teacher: Lollipop, lollipop... Students: Oh, lolli lolli lolli, lollipop!" It'd be cute with little ones (as long as they don't stick their fingers in their mouths and make the popping sound).

Pocket Full of Kinders!: More Freebies: Center Games

Classroom redirection without interrupting the class. Copy about 10 of these on a piece of paper, laminate, cut out, carry some in your pocket as you walk around the classroom. If a student if off task or disturbing, lay one on the desk. Later the student should return it to you with an explanation and promise. Great idea for centers.

Use this "quiet spray" in your classroom to signal kids to get quiet. This is a really great website and they are Tennessee teachers so everything fits with our standards!

Use "Quiet Spray" to get kids to quiet down! Cute idea (:

Classroom ideas for when I become a teacher

The Lemonade Stand: "I made up some "Quiet Spray!" You spray the ROOM to signal children to get quiet. Or you can just leave the bottle empty. Mine love the mist in the air. It is so funny! {I do not condone spraying a child! As much as you might want to! Ha! ;)}"

Quiet Spray: One of the kindergarten teachers at my school has this...and it works!

The Lemonade Stand: "Is your class always this loud?"

Kids/Teenagers aren't cats. I really can't believe that a teacher could do this without the risk of a lawsuit today. I know if a teacher ever sprayed me with anything I would have reported it to the principal, no matter the intent. On top of that it's demeaning, playful or not and to categorically say that using it on ADHD kids is successful is ridiculous. Their brains do not produce certain chemicals or overproduce others and without therapy/medication, much of their lack of awareness is not their fault. Try giving them a tootsie roll, allowing them to chew gum, or stand at their desk to work instead of spraying them like an animal.

I do not think they are suggesting spraying the students! I would never!

Haters gonna hate. I never sprayed the student that I used this as a non-verbal cue with. Also, I 100% disagree with rewarding negative behavior with candy.

I like the Idea...It's great. And I might spray the kids, because they'll think it's fun and sometimes it's a GOOD idea to bring some light heartedness into the learning experience. Going to get my bottle this afternoon and might even add some lavender oil so when I spray it the class smells relaxing. First day of school is tomorrow, thanks for the idea.

Fun classroom attention getters! The kids loved this!

Classroom Attention Grabbers, for my teacher friends, heck I could even use these at home when I need my kids attention

Classroom management. It would have been fun to have a teacher let me holler "great balls of fire!"
